HoopsVibe’s Quick Call: For many reasons, the inmate – no matter how talented and important LeBron James is to your organization – can’t run the asylum.

After all, this creates an uncomfortable dynamic in the locker room. There’s a fine line between the two-time MVP having a say in personnel matters and ushering out teammates he doesn’t jive with -like former Cleveland Cavaliers forward Drew Gooden.

It’s also a distraction. James, who again collapsed in the playoffs, should focus on basketball. Nothing else. The sooner this happens, the better off the two-time MVP and his team will be.
